House edge, not bonus size

Casinos Ranked by What a Bet Costs

A bonus is a one-off discount. The house edge is a charge on every wager you ever place. This is the ranking that follows from the second number.

House edge is 100 minus the average reported RTP, so the cost column is what the maths implies you pay per $100 staked over the long run. It is not a session prediction, and it excludes any rakeback the casino returns.

House edge is 100 minus the average reported RTP across the games we have on file for each operator. Read the game count alongside it: an average drawn from three hundred titles is steadier than one drawn from thirty.

Why the gaps are so narrow

The whole field sits within a few tenths of a percentage point, because studios build to a band operators will accept. Picking a casino on average RTP alone is therefore close to pointless, and any site presenting that ranking as a dramatic difference is overselling it.

What actually moves your cost of play is elsewhere: whether the operator returns part of its edge to you on every bet, whether that return is locked behind a playthrough, and which build of a given game it chose to run. The last of those is covered in same game, different RTP, where the gaps reach two percentage points, far more than anything in the table above.

Common questions

Does a lower house edge mean I will win?
No. It means you lose more slowly on average across a very large number of bets. Over any single session the outcome is dominated by variance.
Why is rakeback not in this ranking?
Because we have no verified source for it. Where a casino returns part of its edge, the real cost is lower than this table shows, and we would rather leave the column out than fill it from a figure we cannot check.
Is the reported RTP audited?
Not by us. These are the values the games themselves report, which is the best available reference and not an independent measurement of what they paid out.
